ADULTS (18+)
SEEKING A PSYCHOLOGIST

Whether you have seen other therapists in the past or this is a new undertaking for you, Welcome.

 

At my practice in South Edmonton, I use an integrative approach to work with adults (18+) who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, stress, life changes, or perinatal concerns such as postpartum depression, antenatal anxiety, pregnancy after loss, birth trauma, and pregnancy or infant loss.​

​

My goal is to create a warm, attuned, and curious environment where clients feel supported and understood as we work together toward healing, resilience, and growth.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) is a body-oriented therapy for trauma and attachment wounds. From early in life, our body learns how to respond to safety, connection, and threat. These patterns shape our beliefs, emotions, and behaviours. SP helps clients explore how the body holds these patterns and use that awareness to reshape responses, thoughts, and feelings.

​

SP is research-based and integrates psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, learning theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. We explore the expicit narrative and the implict narrative.  Clients benefit from therapy when traditional talk therapy is combined with attention to the body’s wisdom.

(Training: SP Level I–III, Certification, Advanced Training in Complex Trauma and Dissociation, and Consultancy Certification.)

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness therapy teaches clients to live in the present moment. Many people find themselves caught between thoughts, feelings, or somatic responses from the past (which may fuel depression) and the future (which may increase anxiety).

 

Mindfulness practices support greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body sensations, leading to reduced stress, increased calm, and improved well-being.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART is a structured, brief trauma therapy that uses bilateral eye movements and memory replacement techniques. It helps clients change how distressing images and memories are stored in the brain, often reducing trauma symptoms quickly.

Mindfulness-based

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is one of the most researched therapies for anxiety and depression. It focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and body sensations. CBT helps clients reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping strategies.

​

Mindfulness-based CBT (M-CBT) combines CBT tools with mindfulness, helping clients stay grounded in the present while developing flexibility in their thinking.

Trauma Regulation Integration Process

Trauma Regulation Integration Process (TRIP)

TRIP therapy addresses how trauma is stored in the body through episodic and sensory memory. By integrating sensations, emotions, and beliefs, clients can feel more connected, cohesive, and present.

Bio-Psycho-Social Approach

My work is grounded in a biopsychosocial understanding of healing. This means I view emotional distress, trauma, and personal growth through the interconnected influences of the body and nervous system, thoughts and emotions, relationships, life experiences, and the broader contexts in which people live. In therapy, these dimensions provide important context as we explore a client’s history, current functioning, the changes they hope for, and the pathways and actions that may support healing.

 

This may include attention to patterns of coping and adaptation, developmental and early relational wounds, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, and the messages people have received about themselves through family, culture, and society. When it is meaningful to the client, this may also include values, faith, spirituality, or other belief systems that inform identity, meaning, and experience.
